I'm new to real time strategy games, i'm a turn baser of old!
For your info i'm running a P4 2.4 gig, 256 ram, with a 64 meg graphics card, and i had absolutley no trouble running this game, no hiccups.
Untill i played the demo i was hooked on panzer general 3d and scorched earth, those WERE my bread and butter games.
This game is great!
If i gave this game a 5 star rating then it would have to be perfect and its not.
But its damn near close.
As other reviewers mentioned, it gets kind of tedious when you have to supply your vehicles, and you are kind of vulnerable when you do this unless you have your area very well secured, i guess i had to get used to the idea of enemy units attacking me at a moments notice, DEFEND DEFEND DEFEND!
What i really like about this game is when you are deploying "artillery for example" and you actually see the guys picking and packing up the guns, seeing the arms on the guns swing open and deploy, never had anything like that in panzer general, that alone is really neat!
I'm a bit of a WWII amature armour history buff so i really get a great deal of joy to see that the damage is realistic, for example i have this other game a WWll tank simulator, and in that game, "if your playing as the germans" is very disheartening to have your panther or tiger1 shot to peices by a ordinary sherman tank at 2000 yards!
That just did'nt happen, so i'm happy that this game uses realistic damage in it.
I just wish i could figure out how to delete my old saved games, but other than that i would highly reccomend this game to anyone.
The learning curve is a little steep only because you need to learn what tanks and guns can do what and what they can't do, but there is a section where you can look at all the units in this game to help you with that.
I am very happy i bought this game!
